/**
* A Tail Call Transformer
*
* @author Erik Stenman, Iulian Dragos
* @version 1.1
*
* What it does:
*
* Finds method calls in tail-position and replaces them with jumps.
* A call is in a tail-position if it is the last instruction to be
* executed in the body of a method. This is done by recursing over
* the trees that may contain calls in tail-position (trees that can't
* contain such calls are not transformed). However, they are not that
* many.
*
*
* Self-recursive calls in tail-position are replaced by jumps to a
* label at the beginning of the method. As the JVM provides no way to
* jump from a method to another one, non-recursive calls in
* tail-position are not optimized.
*
*
* A method call is self-recursive if it calls the current method and
* the method is final (otherwise, it could
* be a call to an overridden method in a subclass). Furthermore, If
* the method has type parameters, the call must contain these
* parameters as type arguments. Recursive calls on a different instance
* are optimized. Since 'this' is not a local variable, a dummy local val
* is added and used as a label parameter. The backend knows to load
* the corresponding argument in the 'this' (local at index 0). This dummy local
* is never used and should be cleand up by dead code elimination (when enabled).
*
*
* This phase has been moved before pattern matching to catch more
* of the common cases of tail recursive functions. This means that
* more cases should be taken into account (like nested function, and
* pattern cases).
*
*
* If a method contains self-recursive calls, a label is added to at
* the beginning of its body and the calls are replaced by jumps to
* that label.
*
*
* Assumes: Uncurry
has been run already, and no multiple
* parameter lists exit.
*
